eventually kids patient stay
We have the firepower to do that. A lot of it is as long as the kids stay patient and keep executing, eventually it's going to go.
beat close hurt plain shooting stayed
We stayed close with them, but their long-range shooting hurt us. Morton beat us, plain and simple.
defensive felt gave great group job
We felt like we gave this one away. The one thing about this group now is they're battling. They did a great job of doing that, but we didn't do the job on the defensive end.
complain confidence effort game girls playing point taking
We are happy. We're at the point where we are taking it one game at a time. I think the girls have really got some confidence rolling; they are really playing as a team. The effort is always there every night. That's something I can't complain about.
ball continue days hit
It was one of those days where we hit the ball where they weren't. If we continue to make plays, we'll continue to be successful.
believe chances game guys job needed nine runs tied took
At that point, I was just baffled; I couldn't believe it. I told the guys that they needed nine runs and we got 11. We tied the game before we got our first out. It took everyone to get that job done. Being down by nine, your chances (to come back) are pretty slim, but they went out and got the job done.
ball defense foul good knocked looks pressure settled shot taken trouble zone
Foul trouble killed us. We didn't get to do what we wanted to do. We wanted to pressure them, but that was taken out by the foul trouble. We settled into a zone defense and they shot the ball over us. You have to give Morton credit. They got the good looks and knocked down the shots.
pulling stick stuck
It was our offense. They stuck with it, but (scoring) was like pulling teeth. As long as they stick with it, they'll be OK. It wasn't pretty, but we'll take it.
credit deserve girls hard kept proud season stuck success worked
The girls kept on working and they deserve the credit for the success we've had this season. I'm proud of everyone who stuck it out. The girls worked hard all season and I can't say enough of how proud I am of them.
basketball buying defense emphasis girls great job nice played pressure shoot year
We put great pressure on the basketball and everyone else did a nice job of defense away from the ball. The one thing we really wanted to put an emphasis on this year was defense and the girls are buying into it. We didn't shoot the ball well, but we played great defense.
coming good great kids opportunity played pleased team
We played great team basketball. This was an opportunity to play everyone and look at a lot of different combinations. I'm pleased with how the kids played coming off the bench. They did a really good job.
couple good improve last played trying
We played good D and that's one thing we're really trying to improve on and have in the last couple of games.
free giving matter
Mostly, it was just a matter of giving too many free passes. You can't give that team, in particular, that many free passes, because they'll make you pay.
rough start
That was kind of a rough way to start the first inning.
